PART I
Background
We were an exploration stage company, as a for-profit company, and electing a fiscal year end of June 30.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 7, 2013, under the name of Texas Jack Oil & Gas Corporation.
Texas Jack Oil & Gas Corporation was a development stage company with a limited history of operations.
General Overview
Description of Business
We were an exploration stage company with limited revenues and operating history. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We currently own a 3% working interest in one well the Bright 1H, which was drilled in late summer of 2012 and was completed and placed into production in October 2012. The well has been drilled with lateral lines that are approximately 2,000 feet in length. There are a total of three producing wells on this property however Texas Jack only has an interest in one well the Bright 1H.
The Company is reviewing its next project where Texas Jack would purchase a 3% working interest in a lease operated by 3-Ten located in Jack County Texas. At this time Texas Jack has not purchased the working interest or entered into any contracts with operator.
Our focus for the current fiscal year will be on further locating and developing new working interests, while continuing to pursue acquisition of new leases and/or existing oil and gas wells which have potential for production, if revenues warrant.
General Information about our Current Working Interest
Acquisition of the 3% Working Interest:
On October 1, 2012, Texas Permian Partners Oil & Gas, Inc., (“Texas Permian”) a Nevada Corporation, for whom Robert Schwarz, now President of Texas Jack was sole officer, director and shareholder, purchased the 3% working interest in the Bright 1H well from Southlake Energy for $165,000 with funds provided by Robert Schwarz. On May 1, 2013 the President of the Company executed an assignment agreement with Southlake Operating, LLC the operator of the well which transferred the 3% working interest in one well the 3 Bright1H well located in Jack County Texas to Texas Jack Oil & Gas Corporation. This assignment was authorized and approved by Texas Permian, which also authorized that any consideration for said assignment was to be given to Robert Schwarz as an individual for services rendered to Texas Permian. The 3% working interest in the Bright 1H well, was drilled in late summer of 2012 and was completed and placed into production in October 2012. The well has been drilled with lateral lines that are approximately 2,000 feet in length. The Bright 1H well is further described as being situated on 87.03 acres of land of situated within the S.R. Halley Survey, Abstract No. 1748, Jack County, Texas, said 87.03 acres being out of and part of a 325.45 acre tract of land described in a Deed to Edwin B. Bright et ux. Recorded in Volume 333, Schwarz 645 of the Official Public Records of Jack County, Texas. The well was drilled late summer of 2012 and put into production October 2012 and is currently producing approximately 100 barrels of oil per month.
The consideration for the assignment was $165,000 being original cost to the founder. The well was drilled late summer of 2012 and put into production October 2012 and is currently producing approximately 100 barrels of oil per month.

General Area: The Bright 1H well is further described as being situated on 87.03 acres of land of situated within the S.R. Halley Survey, Abstract No. 1748, Jack County, Texas, said 87.03 acres being out of and part of a 325.45 acre tract of land described in a Deed to Edwin B. Bright et ux. Recorded in Volume 333, Schwarz 645 of the Official Public Records of Jack County, Texas. (see attached Plat below)
[MAP SHOWING Bright 1H in Jack County Texas]
Jack County, in north central Texas, is bordered by Clay, Archer, and Montague counties to the north, Young County to the west, Palo Pinto and Parker counties to the south, and Wise County to the east. Jacksboro, the county seat and the largest town in the county, is sixty miles southeast of Wichita Falls and seventy miles northwest of Fort Worth. The county's center is at 98°10' west longitude and 33°12' north latitude. As of the 2010 census its population was 9,044. Its county seat is Jacksboro. Jack County is named for Patrick Churchill Jack and his brother William Houston Jack, both soldiers of the Texas Revolution.
The county's 920 square miles is forested mainly by mesquite, live oak, blackjack oak, and post oak, with pecan, elm, walnut, and cottonwood trees along the waterways. The altitude increases from east to west and ranges from 800 feet to 1,350 feet. The West Fork of the Trinity River cuts across Jack County diagonally from northwest to southeast and provides the main drainage for the county. Among other creeks are East Rock, Howard, Lost, Crooked, the North Fork of Crooked, Little Cleveland, the West Fork of Keechi, Two Bush, and Henderson. Lake Bridgeport and Lake Jacksboro are in the county. Mineral resources include petroleum, natural gas, and stone.
History: Before white settlement Jack County was a borderland between the Caddo Indians to the east and the Comanches to the west. The first Europeans to visit the area may have been Spaniards under Franciso Vasquez de Coronado in the sixteenth century, but they made no permanent settlements. Jack County was included in the Texan Emigration and Land Company, more commonly known as the Peters colony. Settlers began arriving in the future county by 1855, and by 1856 the first settlement, Keechi, was established. Early settlers entering Jack County came mainly from the middle South states, primarily Alabama, North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri, and Kentucky, many by way of Smith County or other parts of Texas.
Cattle ranching dominated the county's economy during its early years. The first cattle drive north from Jack County was made in 1866, and by 1890 there were 68,756 cattle in the county. After large-scale farming was introduced in the late 1870s, the number of farms grew rapidly, increasing from 945 in 1880 to 1,888 in 1910. The dominant crop in the county's early years was corn, with 115,761 bushels harvested in 1880 and 663,490 bushels in 1900. During the late 1880s and 1890s oats and wheat were introduced, and by 1920 Jack County was a leading producer of grains; in that year county farmers grew 498,250 bushels of oats, 249,643 bushels of corn, and 351,819 bushels of wheat. Cotton was also grown in considerable quantities after 1890, and by the early 1920s the annual yield was 6,000 bales. Despite the growth of crop farming, livestock raising continued to play an important role in the county's economic life. Revenue from cattle remained an important source of income for many farmers and ranchers, and receipts from poultry and egg production grew throughout the early decades of the twentieth century.
Oil, discovered near Bryson in 1923, set off a small boom, as numerous oilfield workers and others attracted by the prospects of easy money moved in. Nevertheless the population of the county as a whole declined steadily after 1915, largely as the result of a series of agricultural busts. The population, which reached a peak of 11,817 in 1910, fell to 9,863 in 1920 and 9,046 in 1930. Income from oil helped some cash-poor farmers to settle debts and survive the lean years of the Great Depression, but many others were forced to sell their farms and equipment and try their hands at something else. The economy began to recover during World War II, but subsequently the population declined slowly. Between 1940 and 1990 the number of residents fell from 10,206 to 6,981. In the early 1990s cow and calf operations provided the largest source of agricultural receipts; the leading crop was wheat. The sale of firewood also provided important income. Leading industries included petroleum production and oil-well servicing. Oil production steadily increased to 1,800,000 barrels annually in the early 1990s. Production began to decline thereafter, however. A little over 706,000 barrels of oil and 12,131,871 cubic feet of gas-well gas were produced in the county in 2004; by the end of that year 203,811,409 barrels of oil had been taken from county lands since 1923.

Markets
The availability of a ready market and the prices obtained for produced oil depends on many factors, including the extent of domestic production and imports of oil, the proximity and capacity of pipelines and other transportation facilities, fluctuating demand, the marketing of competitive fuels, and the effects of governmental regulation on production and sales. A ready domestic market for oil exists because of the presence of pipelines for transport. The existence of an international market exists depends upon the presence of international delivery systems and political and pricing factors.
If we are successful in the continuing production of oil with the one well the Bright 1H and possible additional property, the operator of our one well the Bright 1H will continue to target refiners, remarketers and third party intermediaries, who either have, or have access to, consumer delivery systems. Southlake Operating LLC the third –party operator will continue to sell the oil from our one well the Bright 1H under both short-term (less than one year) and long-term (one year or more) agreements at prices negotiated with third parties. Currently Spears Oil, a third party operator, picks up the oil from the Bright 1H and sells it to Shell Oil Company. The price is based upon a 20-day floating average. Typically either the entire contract (in the case of short-term contracts) or the price provisions of the contract (in the case of long-term contracts) are renegotiated at intervals ranging in frequency from daily to annually.
We have not yet adopted any specific sales and marketing plans. However, as we purchase future properties and or working interests, the need to hire marketing personnel will be addressed.
Distribution Methods
The oil that we produce is distributed through oil gathering companies. The contract operator, Southlake Operating, LLC, will make the arrangements with the gathering companies.
Status of Publicly Announced Products or Services
We have not announced any products or services. Since our business is limited to conducting exploration activities, we do not anticipate any such development.
Competitive Business Conditions
We operate in a highly competitive environment for acquiring properties, modernizing existing wells and marketing oil that is produced. The majority of our competitors possess and employ financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours, which can be particularly important in the areas in which we plan to operate. Those companies may be able to pay more for productive properties and exploratory prospects and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial resources permit. Our ability to acquire additional prospects and to find and develop reserves in the future will depend on our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. Also, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and natural gas industry.
Current competitive factors in the domestic oil and gas industry are unique. The actual price range of crude oil is largely established by major international producers. Pricing for natural gas is more regional; however, more favorable prices can usually be negotiated for larger quantities of oil and/or gas product. In this respect, while we believe we have a price disadvantage when compared to larger producers, we view our primary pricing risk to be related to a potential decline in international prices to a level which could render our production uneconomical.
We will be committed to use the services of the existing gathering companies in our present area of production. This potentially gives such gathering companies certain short-term relative monopolistic powers to set gathering and transportation costs, because obtaining the services of an alternative gathering company may require substantial additional costs.
General competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of the United States and other countries, as well as factors beyond our control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.
In the face of competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or developing profitable oil and gas properties or interests, and we cannot give any assurance that suitable properties or interests will be available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we hope to compete successfully in the industry by:
·
|
relying on the strength of our President’s contacts; and
|
·
|
using our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing market conditions or responding swiftly to potential opportunities.
|
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
We have no significant raw materials. However, if we are successful in our plan of operations we may make use of numerous oil field service companies. We currently only have 3% working interest in one well lease in Jack County Texas, there are numerous oil field service companies.
Dependence on one or a Few Major Customers
We will principally sell our oil through our operator to marketers and other purchasers that have access to nearby pipeline facilities. Generally, in areas where there is no practical access to pipelines, oil is trucked to storage facilities. We believe that the loss of any of these oil purchasers would not materially impact our business, because we could readily find other purchasers for our oil as produced.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts
We have no patents, trademarks, licenses, concessions, or labor contracts.
Research and Development Expenditures
Since our inception to the date of this filing, we have not spent any money on research and development activities. President, through Texas Permian, paid $165,500 for the 3% working interest lease on the Bright 1H lease property which we obtained by assignment from Texas Permian. The President of the Company, through Texas Permian, paid $165,000 for the 3% working interest in the year 2012 and said interest was assigned to Texas Jack in May of 2013 in exchange of 15,000,000 shares of the Company common stock being provided to Robert Schwarz.
Compliance with Government and Environmental Regulations of Transportation of Oil
The sales of crude oil are not currently regulated and are made at negotiated prices. Nevertheless, Congress could reenact price controls in the future.
Our sales of crude oil will be affected by the availability, terms and cost of transportation. The transportation of oil in common carrier pipelines is also subject to rate regulation. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or the FERC, regulates interstate oil pipeline transportation rates under the Interstate Commerce Act. Intrastate oil pipeline transportation rates are subject to regulation by state regulatory commissions. The basis for intrastate oil pipeline regulation, and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate oil pipeline rates, varies from state to state.
Insofar as effective interstate and intrastate rates are equally applicable to all comparable shippers, we believe that the regulation of oil transportation rates will not affect our operations in any way that is of material difference from those of our competitors. Further, interstate and intrastate common carrier oil pipelines must provide service on a non-discriminatory basis. Under this open access standard, common carriers must offer service to all shippers requesting service on the same terms and under the same rates. When oil pipelines operate at full capacity, access is governed by pro-rationing provisions set forth in the pipelines' published tariffs. Accordingly, we believe that access to oil pipeline transportation services generally will be available to us to the same extent as to our competitors.
Regulation of Production
The production of oil is subject to regulation under a wide range of local, state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Federal, state and local statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. All states, in which we may operate in the future, have regulations governing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil properties, the establishment of maximum allowable rates of production from oil wells, the regulation of well spacing, and plugging and abandonment of wells. The effect of these regulations is to limit the amount of oil that can be produced from wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations, although companies can apply for exceptions to such regulations or to have reductions in well spacing. Moreover, each state generally imposes a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil within its jurisdiction.
The failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. Our competitors in the oil industry are subject to the same regulatory requirements and restrictions that affect our operations.
Effect of Compliance with Federal, State, and Local Provisions for the Protection of the Environment
Oil exploration, development and production operations are subject to stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Historically, most of the environmental regulation of oil production has been left to state regulatory boards or agencies in those jurisdictions where there is significant oil production, with limited direct regulation by such federal agencies as the Environmental Protection Agency. However, while we believe this generally to be the case for our production activities in Texas, there are various regulations issued by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and other governmental agencies that would govern significant spills, blow-outs, or uncontrolled emissions.
At the federal level, among the more significant laws and regulations that may affect our business and the oil and gas industry are: The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, also known as "CERCLA" or Superfund; the Oil Pollution Act of 1990; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, also known as "RCRA"; the Clean Air Act; Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, or the Clean Water Act; and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974.
Compliance with these regulations may constitute a significant cost and effort for us. No specific accounting for environmental compliance has been projected by us at this time. We are not presently aware of any environmental demands, claims, or adverse actions, litigation or administrative proceedings in which our acquired property is involved or subject to, or arising out of any predecessor operations.
In the event of a breach of environmental regulations, these environmental regulatory agencies have a broad range of alternative or cumulative remedies which include: ordering a clean-up of any spills or waste material and restoration of the soil or water to conditions existing prior to the environmental violation; fines; or enjoining further drilling, completion or production activities. In certain egregious situations the agencies may also pursue criminal remedies against us or our principal officers.
Employees
Our only employee is our sole officer, Robert Schwarz. Mr. Schwarz currently devotes 5-10 hours per week to the Company matters and after receiving funding he plans to devote as much time as the board of directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of the company. There are no formal employment agreements between the company and our current employee.

Description of Property
We do not currently own any property. The Company utilizes space at the home of our officer and director at 15 Belfort, Newport Coast, California, 92657. The telephone number is 949-706-3628. The office space is provided at no charge to the Company. Management believes the current premises are sufficient for its needs at this time.
We currently have no investment policies as they pertain to real estate, real estate interests or real estate mortgages.
The following risks and uncertainties, along with other information contained in this Form 10-K, should be carefully considered by anyone considering an investment in our securities. The occurrence of any of the following risks could negatively affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
(A)
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Our financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not receive additional funding, we would have to curtail or cease development stage operations. An investment in our securities represents significant risk and you may lose all or part of your entire investment.
Our independent auditors noted in their report accompanying our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2014 that we are have not commenced the planned operation and incapable of generating sufficient cash flow which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2014, we had a net loss of $134,863 and they further stated that the uncertainty related to these conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2014, our cash on hand was $5,874. We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund operations. To stay in business, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities, debt financing or short-term bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing. As of the date of this prospectus, we have commenced business operations but have not yet generated any revenues.
We will need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. However, additional funding from an alternate source or sources may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. To the extent that money is raised through the sale of our securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our existing security holder. If we raise money through debt financing or bank loans, we may be required to secure the financing with some or all of our business assets, which could be sold or retained by the creditor should we default in our payment obligations. If we fail to raise sufficient funds, we would have to curtail or cease operations.
We lack an operating history in our current business plan, which makes it difficult to evaluate whether we will be able to continue our operations or ever be profitable.
We have a limited history from March 7, 2013 inception to June 30, 2014 of development stage operations and we may not be successful in our efforts to grow our business and to earn revenues. Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. As a result, management may be unable to adjust its spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. An investment in our securities represents significant risk and you may lose all or part of your entire investment.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods until revenues are sufficient to fund operations. Failure to generate enough revenues for us to become profitable may cause us to suspend or cease activities.
Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flows is dependent upon:
·Our ability to generate revenues
·Our ability to locate additional profitable oil and gas properties
·Attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel who can successfully assist us in implementing our business plan;
·Maintain current strategic relationships and develop new strategic relationships;
·Our ability to reduce operating costs
·Our ability to update our website
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods until revenues are sufficient to fund operations. Failure to generate enough revenues for us to become profitable may cause us to suspend or cease activities.
We have a history of losses. Future losses and negative cash flow may limit or delay our ability to become profitable. It is possible that we may never achieve profitability. An investment in our securities represents significant risk and you may lose all or part of your entire investment.
We have yet to establish profitable operations or a history of profitable operations. We anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial development stage operating losses for an indefinite period of time due to the significant costs associated with the development of our business.
Since incorporation, we have expended financial resources on the development of our business. As a result, losses have been incurred since incorporation. Management expects to experience operating losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. Management anticipates that losses will continue to increase from current levels because the Company expects to incur additional costs and expenses related to: marketing and promotional activities; the possible addition of new personnel; and the development of relationships with strategic business partners.
The Company’s ability to become profitable depends on its ability to acquire additional working interests in oil and gas. If the Company does achieve profitability, it cannot be certain that it would be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. An investment in our securities represents significant risk and you may lose all or part of your entire investment.
(B) RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
We may never pay any dividends to shareholders.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
Our controlling security holder may take actions that conflict with your investment.
Mr. Robert Schwarz, our Chief Executive Officer and sole director owns 64% of our capital stock with voting rights. Even if the entire offering is sold, Mr. Schwarz will continue to control a large amount of the company because he will hold 52% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. In this case, Mr. Schwarz will be able to exercise his 52% control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions, and he will have significant control over our management and policies. The directors elected by our controlling security holder will be able to significantly influence decisions affecting our capital structure. This control may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other security holders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest. For example, our controlling security holder will be able to control the sale or other disposition of our operating businesses and subsidiaries to another entity. The interests of our Chief Executive Officer may differ from the interests of our other shareholders and thus may result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to our other shareholders.
Our sole officer and director lives outside of Jack County, Texas, making it difficult to oversee the wells.
Because our sole officer and director lives in Newport Coast, California, and our current wells are located in Jack County, Texas, there may be a higher risk that our business may fail.
The distance from where our sole officer and director lives and where the well operations are located, may create a detrimental situation due to lack of oversight. Though we have an operating agreement with an independent operator to monitor the well production, there is no assurance that it will be carried out properly without direct oversight by our officer and director. This could have an adverse effect on production and future revenues, consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success may suffer irreparable harm as a result.
You may experience dilution of your ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.
In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 70,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 60,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.
We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. Any such issuances will result in immediate dilution to our existing shareholder’s interests, which will negatively affect the value of your shares. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes.
Our common stock is considered penny stocks, which may be subject to restrictions on marketability, so you may not be able sell your shares.
If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the SEC that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.
Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
Currently, there is no public market for our common stock, and there is no assurance that any public market will ever develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading and, even if quoted, that a viable liquid market with low volatility will develop.
Currently, our common stock is not listed on any public market, exchange, or quotation system. Although we are taking steps to enable our common stock to be publicly traded, a market for our common stock may never develop. We currently plan to apply for quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. However, our common stock may never be traded on the OTCBB or even if traded, a viable public market may not materialize. Even if we are successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable shareholders to sell their Shares. If our common stock is not quoted on the OTCBB or if a viable public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the Shares, rendering the same effectively worthless and resulting in a complete loss of their investment.
We are planning to identify a market maker to file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") on our behalf so that we may quote our shares of common stock on the OTCBB commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. We cannot assure you that such market maker's application will be accepted by the FINRA. We are not permitted to file such application on our own behalf. If the application is accepted, there can be no assurances as to whether any market for our common stock will develop or of the price at which our common stock will trade. If the application is accepted, we cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors.
In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for the common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly.
Shares of our company stock may never become tradable on the OTCBB or another exchange. In addition, prices for our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of the Company, and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
(C) RISK RELATED TO THE OIL AND NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY
The marketability of natural resources is affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and natural gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and natural gas and environmental protection regulations. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
Oil and natural gas operation are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.
Oil and natural gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and natural gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages. To date, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or dely the commencement or continuation of our operations.
In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation. Specifically, we may be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.
Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.
The business of oil and natural gas exploration and development is subject to substantial regulation under various countries laws relating to the exploration for, and the development, upgrading, marketing, pricing, taxation, and transportation of oil and natural gas and related products and other matters. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of oil and natural gas exploration and development operations could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, there can be no assurance that income tax laws, royalty regulations and government incentive programs related to the properties subject to our farm-out agreements and the oil and natural gas industry generally will not be changed in a manner which may adversely affect our progress and cause delays, inability to explore and develop or abandonment of these interests.
Permits, leases, licenses, and approvals are required from a variety of regulatory authorities at various stages of exploration and development. There can be no assurance that the various government permits, leases, licenses and approvals sought will be granted in respect of our activities or, if granted, will not be cancelled or will be renewed upon expiry. There is no assurance that such permits, leases, licenses, and approvals will not contain terms and provisions which may adversely affect our exploration and development activities.
If our assessment or our lease property, or any future lease properties, is materially inaccurate, it could have significant impact on future operations and earnings.
The successful acquisition of producing properties requires assessments of many factors, which are inherently inexact and may be inaccurate, including the following:
·the amount of recoverable reserves;
·future oil and natural gas prices;
·estimates of operating costs;
·estimates of future development costs;
·estimates of the costs and timing of plugging and abandonment; and
·potential environmental and other liabilities.
Our assessment will not reveal all existing or potential problems, nor will it permit us to become familiar enough with the properties to assess fully their capabilities and deficiencies.
If oil and natural gas prices decrease, we may require to take write-downs of the carrying value of our oil and natural gas property, potentially negative impacting the trading value of our securities.
Accounting rules require that we review periodically the carrying value of our oil and natural gas property for possible impairment. Based on specific market factors and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews, and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our oil and natural gas property. A write-down could constitute a non-cash charge to earnings. It is likely the cumulative effect of a write-down could also negatively impact the trading price of our securities.
We may incur substantial losses and be subject to liability claims as a result of our oil and natural gas operations.
We do not currently have insurance for possible risks. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The oil and natural gas production activities will be subject to all of the operating risks associated with the production of oil and natural gas, including the possibility of:
·environmental hazards, such as uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas, brine, well fluids, toxic gas or other pollution into the environment, including groundwater and shoreline contamination;
·abnormally pressured formations;
·mechanical difficulties;
·fires and explosions;
·personal injuries and death; and
·natural disasters.
Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations or result in substantial losses to our company. We may elect not to obtain insurance if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. If a significant accident or other event occurs and is not fully covered by insurance, then it could adversely affect us.
We could not act the “operator” on our property, and so we are exposed to the risk of our third-party operators.
We will be relying on the expertise of contracted third-party oil and gas exploration and development operators and third-party consultants for their judgment, experience and advice. We can give no assurance that these third party operators or consultants will always act in our best interests, and we are exposed as a third party to their operations and actions and advice in those properties and activities in which we are contractually bound.
Unless we replace our oil and natural gas reserves, our reserves and production will decline, which would adversely affect our cash flows and income.
Unless we conduct successful development and exploitation activities or acquire properties containing proved reserves, our reserves when we find them will decline as those reserves are produced. We currently have no proved reserves on our property. Producing oil and natural gas reservoirs generally are characterized by declining production rates that vary depending upon reservoir characteristics and other factors. Our future oil and natural gas reserves and production, and, therefore our cash flow and income, are highly dependent on our success in efficiently developing and exploiting our current reserves and economically finding or acquiring additional recoverable reserves. If we are unable to develop, exploit, find or acquire additional reserves to replace our current and future production, our cash flow and income will decline as production declines, until our existing property would be incapable of sustaining commercial production.
If access to markets is restricted, it could negatively impact our production, our income and ultimately our ability to retain our lease and any future leases.
Market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas gathering arrangements may hinder access to oil and natural gas markets or delay production. The availability of a ready market for our oil and natural gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and natural gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and terminal facilities. The ability to market production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities owned and operated by third parties. Our failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our business.

3. Legal proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Under the Nevada General Corporation Law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Company’s directors will have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his “duty of care”. This provision does not apply to the directors’ (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Corporate Governance:
Audit Committee
The Company does not presently have an Audit Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. The Company intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint an Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee will be empowered to make such examinations as are necessary to monitor the corporate financial reporting and the external audits of the Company, to provide to the Board of Directors (the "Board") the results of its examinations and recommendations derived there from, to outline to the Board improvements made, or to be made, in internal control, to nominate independent auditors, and to provide to the Board such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters that require Board attention.
Compensation Committee
The Company does not presently have a Compensation Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. The Company intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint a Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee will be authorized to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding all forms of compensation to be provided to the executive officers and directors of the Company, including stock compensation, and bonus compensation to all employees.
Independent Director / Corporate Governance Committee
Our Board of Directors currently consists of only Robert Schwarz. We are not a “listed company” under SEC rules and therefore are not required to have separate committees comprised of independent directors. We do not have independent director(s) at this time.
The Company does not presently have a Corporate Governance Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. The Company intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint a Corporate Governance Committee.
The Corporate Governance Committee will be responsible for reviewing developments in corporate governance practices, evaluating the adequacy of our corporate governance practices and reporting and making recommendations to our Board of Directors concerning corporate governance matters.
Nominating Committee
The Company does not have a Nominating Committee and the full Board acts in such capacity.
Shareholder Communications
Our Board of Directors does not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for our stockholders to send communications to our Board of Directors, including submission of recommendations for nominating directors. We have not yet adopted a process for our security holders to communicate with our Board of Directors because we have not sufficiently developed our operations and corporate governance structure.
Board of Director Meetings.
During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, we did not conduct a Shareholder or Board of Directors meeting.
Annual Shareholder Meetings
During our Fiscal Year 2014, we did not conduct an annual shareholder meeting.
Code of ethics
We have not yet adopted a Code of Ethics.
Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reporting compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent shareholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) filings.
Based solely on our review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 available to us and, where applicable, written representations from directors, officers and 10% stockholders that no form is required to be filed, we believe that no director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of its common stock failed to file such reports required pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Notes:
Our Board of Directors has considered the information described in “
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees
” and “
All Other Fees
” above and believes that it is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. In each case (commencing after August 1, 2002), the board of directors pre-approved all such services.
Our principal accountant (through its full time employees) performed all work regarding the audit of our financial statements for the most recent two fiscal years.
